Ok 343 people ( because we all know you’re reading everything I write and taking its value as that of pure gold!). This is not a rant about Sprint,ground pound, smart scoping or any of the norms. But an alert to a very real problem in matchmaking.
All the the quitting that we experience in matchmaking. The annoying games where half your team leaves you and 1 other guy to take on 4 Spartans. There is a whole lot more to this than people getting frusterated and leaving.
Ive only been playing in parties lately. Just tonight alone we played 6 games of arena. In 2 of those games we had one player booted from the match right in the middle of it. He didn’t quit. He was kicked out by the game. This happened to 2 separate players who both have quality Internet connections and our entire fireteam was from North america. No whacky connecting countries. We finish our games, well when the servers let us anyway, even if we’re getting destroyed.
Now I usually wouldn’t complain about this if it weren’t happening so frequently. 1 out of 3 games tonight is unacceptable. but the biggest kick in the teeth is halo dropped a ban hammer on one of these players who got booted from games 1 too many times.
I know there’s a serious problem with quitting and it sucks. But there are also players being punished for halo’s server problems. Kind of a slap in the face when this happens. Nothing worse than being kicked out of a 39-40 game and having your team lose 50-48 without you then receiving a ban on top of it all.
Gotta fix it guys.
